NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

"Hmm, Nadya misses her instructor, teacher." The straightforward little sister Tia chuckled without thinking. "Nadya is still bothered by this morning's exercise."

"Tia~!"

On the other side, the dark-skinned JK, hearing her best friend's ambiguous explanation, blushed slightly and gave a coquettish reproach, quickly re-explaining herself:

"Teacher, the instructor said that if anyone has any questions, they can go to your office during the lunch break to ask him, so I was thinking..."

I'd like to review this morning's drill with the instructors.

Hearing the student's distressed words, Maruchana habitually brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile:

"Are you puzzled by the fact that the instructor killed you through the wall, Nadja?"

"Eh?!"

With her thoughts easily exposed by the teacher, the girl subconsciously raised her hand to touch her neck, rubbing the burn marks left by Marian with her laser pistol with her fingertips.

Yes, teacher.

I don't understand. Even though the office's soundproof walls weren't very sturdy, they were still walls. How could the instructors be strong enough to break through them?

"Prosthetic limbs".

"Eh?"

Seeing the students' slightly confused looks, Maruchana generously gave Nadya the answer she wanted to know.

"The instructor lost his right arm in close combat with Leitch while trying to save a girl named Niki. The thing that actually broke through the soundproof wall during the exercise was a mechanical prosthetic arm covered with simulated skin."

"Mechanical prosthetics?"

Although it was only two short sentences, how could Nadja and Tia, who had experienced life and death, not hear the danger hidden in the words?

Moreover, Marian had just mentioned in the classroom that the instructor had a record of shooting Lecher with a shotgun.

Could it be that……

Is this referring to this very time?

laugh--

Just as the two best friends were stunned, the office door opened suddenly.

Turning around, I saw Captain Xi, who was putting on a cold face, walking quickly out of the office.

"Maruchana".

The assassin's cold voice interrupted the conversation between the teacher and students.

The teacher calmly turned her eyes to Niki from the courtroom, her powerful aura no less imposing than Niki's icy demeanor.

"what's up?"

"You'd better take your students and stay away from him; it won't do you any good."

Without giving a coherent explanation, D ignored the three teachers and students and turned to leave at another end of the corridor.

Behind her, as D walked away, a fleeting glint of murderous intent flashed in Maruchana's eyes.

Gotta find a way...

She had to find a way to bypass the restrictions of NIMPH and find an opportunity to get rid of this lackey of the court without anyone noticing.

For her own sake,

Also for the Phoenix coach,

It was also for her poor students.

Fed up with the relentless experiments MMR High School puts on its students, Marius Chachana becomes convinced of one thing after Phoenix tries to teach her students CQB techniques.

—This instructor has a rebellious streak.

Regarding CQB training guidelines, it's not as simple as the other side wanting to improve students' military skills.

This was clearly a coded message being sent to her, the teacher.

A code to whether or not you want to try liberating MMR Affiliated High School.

……

……

Inside the office, the AI, seemingly disabled, wandered around Phoenix's field of vision, glancing at files one moment and wanting someone to rummage through a cabinet she wanted to see the next.

[Anik, I've figured it out.]

【Um? 】

Despite being a loli-like figure, she deliberately enlarged herself into a 1.8-meter-tall artificial idiot and turned to look at the strange-looking "host".

What did you discover?

I've discovered...

The man casually tossed the tablet computer in his palm onto the table and replied irritably:

These women may seem to suspect me of plotting a rebellion every day, but in reality, they're just projecting their own rebellious desires onto me.

[Damn it, I hope I don't wake up one day to find myself the one who was forced into this position.]

Chapter 83 He must want to overthrow the Ark, but she feels that's not enough.

No matter how demanding life may be, time will always relentlessly continue its march.

Just as Phoenix felt that everyone had misunderstood him, Viper brought Anise to the outskirts of the Ark.

"Neither the CIA nor my unit, Nikki, will allow me to remain on the Ark for more than a week."

dong dong dong.

After knocking on the iron door of the power distribution room, Viper said with a sweet smile, "So you'd better tone down your dependency and not become one of those silly heroines in idol dramas."

"Mmm, thank you for admitting that I'm a stupid female lead. It's really reassuring to be praised like this by a smart loser."

Although she had completely sobered up from her extreme food-guarding mentality, given Anise's personality, she naturally wouldn't indulge the venomous snake.

"Tell me, what agreements did you sign with the Commander? Let this silly heroine kindly help you complete the agreement."

"Seriously, can't you be a little more polite to your allies?"

Whenever she thinks about how she and a certain commander are still in a transactional relationship, not even partners, her heart, like a viper's, can't help but ache.

All I did was use a stun grenade to ambush him the first time we met.

Was it really worth worrying about for so long?!

Click.

The heavy click of the door lock interrupted Viper's inner grumbling. Inside, it was still Changye, who had served the longest, who was responsible for opening the door to greet them.

In just a few days, under the careful "care" of the venomous snake, the lives of the five mass-produced Nikis improved dramatically.

Even Anise, who was not involved in the rescue, was moved by it.

The relevant equipment on both sides of the power distribution room was covered with sheet metal and painted with quick-drying pure white paint to simulate a wall.

The original green rubber floor was covered with a layer of wood grain paint, and various old, small cabinets were scattered along the aisles on both sides, with even one or two potted green plants.

Looking at the innermost part of the power distribution room, you can immediately see that there are handmade bunk beds arranged in an "L" shape, with a grayish-yellow mattress in the empty space.

Various hanging storage bags and boxes were nailed to the "wall," and there were even a few wires hanging overhead to hang excess clothes.

The scene looked very crowded, but the overwhelming sense of everyday life made Anise feel surprisingly warm and cozy.

“While I am away, Ms. Rocogres will be responsible for providing you with the necessities of life.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Changye and the others, Viper smiled and briefly introduced Anise to the five of them.

The disguised girl cooperated perfectly with the snake's work, immediately using her strong social skills to become friends with the younger Chun and Qiu Mo in less than fifteen minutes.

As for how to get along with everyone...

It's just making fun of a certain commander's bad deeds.

Unfortunately, the details of the battle on the ground that night were more captivating to the Nikis than the womanizing stories of the philandering man.

When Anise talked about her encounter with the Commander, she revealed her little scheme of hiding behind Lapi because she was afraid of being abandoned.

Then there's the deal and maneuvering between the Commander and Vice Commander Anderson, the near-death experience of falling into a coma due to dehydration, and the scene of the support troops arriving at the underground garage just before the deadline.

These unpublished combat records deeply fascinated all of Niki, including Viper.

Then,

The already sour heart of the bad woman became even more jealous.

Whether it's Anis, Mihara, or even the two cats and dogs in the court, weren't they all precisely controlled by that man from their very first meeting?

How come when it's my turn, that guy can't even dodge a stun grenade?

Did he deliberately let the game go unpunished?

"Excuse me for interrupting everyone's enjoyment, as I have to return to the Outer District tonight, and I have some matters to discuss with Ms. Rocogres."
